chrislas writes: "THE NEW MANAGERLEAGUE IS LAUNCHING.

Oslo, Norway — August 7, 2009 — After almost a year in development, Fifth Season are launching the much anticipated update to ManagerLeague. ManagerLeague is an online football manager on the web, where the players each manage their own team of virtual players in various national leagues. The game is also available to play in a number of different languages and has players from 114 countries. ManagerLeague is enjoying a user base of around 40.000 players, and is currently receiving around 120 page views per second during peak hours.

It was time to bring the game up to 2009 standards., Christian Lassem says, creator of Managerleague. We've been working hard on this update for a long time, and we're now ready to let everyone get in there and enjoy it. The community has been very positive to what we're doing, and we're looking forward to getting in there with them to play. Oh, and can I say how good it feels to drop the support for IE6 to be able to push for top-notch web-features? There are few web-based games out there who actually dare to do this, but honestly, when you see what is possible to accomplish client-side in a decent browser today, I think more games and services will follow.

The game has received a complete make-over, with completely new graphics, an improved user interface with new functionality and improved game mechanics for a more realistic representation of the player and team development.

The game can be found at: http://www.managerleague.com/ , and is free for anyone to play.

In the launch video, available at: http://www.managerleague.com/trailer.html, Patrick Viera is brought in to announce the opening of the new ManagerLeague. Patrick Viera appears courtesy of Diambars, a charitable organization set up by current and former football stars turning childrens passion for football into education, by building schools in Africa. More info can be found at www.diambars.org.
